This is a silly crossover between Interview with the Vampire and True Blood.

Written in a day as a birthday gift for the wonderful Melissa (squirrellypoo) who supports fic writers so wonderfully and is so incredibly supportive of us here and elsewhere.

This happens in the realm of my fic ‘The Vampire Detective Agency’. Lestat is not Louis’s maker, they are vampires and work as private detectives in New Orleans.

Won’t Someone Think of The Guigonettes??

Nobody talks about how their lives were ruined when the Theatre burned. 😞

The Theatre des Vampires existed their entire lives! It was their constant source of joy! They made friends there! They felt belonging!

It never even occurred to them that it just might not exist someday… 😞

News At Six 1986 Meets Sam Reid! ❤️🌟🤴🏼📺

.

.

One of the many incredible people we met on our set day was Sam Reid - Mr Dale Jennings himself! ❤️🤴🏼

As he is the male lead of The Newsreader, I must admit that some nerves bubbled inside when I first stepped into the newsroom and he waved my way down the hallway. In full costume as Dale, it was a very heady experience; like he had leapt out of the telly. The second he was finished talking to the camera crew, he came into Helen’s old office (where Michael Lucas and Michelle Lim Davidson has taken us) and shook hands with Mum and I, warmly welcoming us into the space. My nerves disappeared from there on, he was just lovely!

In our first exploration of the newsroom, Sam helped Michael and Michelle show us around. It was just us, Emma Freeman and a few camera people; a surreal yet beautifully close moment. He has such a huge fan base, so I knew how truly lucky I was to have this individual moment with him. Sam is a brilliant holder of knowledge, and was excited to explain the process of how the old computer monitors worked, through iPads being placed inside the screen. He also searched his brain for any history he could remember of the building itself, and the thrill of having his expertise called upon lit up in his eyes.

When we were filming our scene (Cheryl’s hens night, S03E05), he checked on how we were going, and even got a special job! You all might have seen Emma Freeman post a video of the cast and crew doing The Nutbush in the newsroom last year. With so much delight, I can say that this was on my set day! Mum and I are in the video in the back row! As for Sam, he was perched on a chair, holding Emma’s phone to record the dance. Dale’s actor got to be a cameraman!

I feel so privileged to have met Sam twice now; first on set, the second at the Season Three ACMI premiere. He played a significant role in making both of these days so special and memorable. I even share a unit still with him too; funnily enough, mirroring his actions in the background! Thank you to Sam for being such a wonderful and intelligent human! I’m so grateful for him for the magic he helped create that day! 🌟

My contribution to the fandom

[squirrellypoo]

My iwtv discord held a festive card exchange for the third year running and I wanted to up my game a little this year, so I designed a card that I could add scraps of my Wolfkiller cloak to.

The idea came first, but then before I could actually start it, I got really sick with a string of opportunistic infections in November and December. But this proved fortuitous because I got a new iPad and Apple Pencil for Christmas, which meant I could make the printed art look a little less awful (be gentle, I make no claims at being an artist). So, it’s less of a “festive card” and more of a “winter card” (with apologies to the Aussies & Brazilians).

I made two versions of Lestat, facing down more wolves in the Auvergne snow, one with his cloak, and a special version without it.

It’s the latter that I got printed onto cards (with a message inside and on the back), and when they arrived I cut out little Wolfkiller cloaks using my leftover velvet and faux fur and glued these onto the cards.

I was waiting to post this until everyone’s arrived, and it was so funny to hear that the first thing everyone did was lift up the cloak to see if his bare ass was out! 😂🥶

I also took the opportunity to use my custom VL stamper on all the envelopes, too! Because of course I did.

A Glance At A Very Big Newsreader Secret! 🌟📺

(And happy birthday to our leading man Sam Reid too! Hoping he has had a beautiful day today, from Newsreader fans everywhere. Thank you for your wonderful hospitality on the day, Sam! 💖🤴🏼)

.

In one of my first posts I did after revealing my very special Newsreader experience, I spoke briefly of how all the televisions in the office functioned; through each of them being wired to a control centre feeding the footage to them. This control centre is in fact a secret room, which is hidden in between the walls of Dale and Lindsay’s offices, behind the whiteboard. This room is never seen on camera and has been concealed from audiences, until today!

In a News At Six 1986 exclusive, I am inviting you into the walls of the hidden control room! When Michael Lucas led Mum and I into Dale’s office, I was astonished to see one of the walls open, and a dark room inside. What was this magical and mysterious sorcery! A lovely bloke greeted us, and welcomed us inside. Lining one wall was tables covered in laptops, with cords going every which way, and each laptop was playing all sorts of footage.

You might recognise the clip of Helen furthest away. This was the bulletin she did in S03E03 as she broke the news of the Tiananmen Square massacre on Public Eye. This was played on the laptop, then fed to the televisions above the whiteboard. We get a good glimpse of this clip in the scene, as Dale watches it with a mixture of frustration and awe.

It was so cool not only getting to see this scene being filmed, but also getting a very early sneak peek into Helen’s Public Eye programme too, and being invited into this secret space. Looks like the secret is out now! I hope you all are just as awestruck by having this knowledge now, as I am too. It really has added another layer to my understanding of how this show comes together from a technical perspective. It’s truly such a clever show all around!

Loustat fic rec

Since my last fic roundup it appears I've been promoted into the role of Loustat fic librarian, LOL.

Finished up the lines on the patchwork and completed construction of the wig! These clothes are made up of a quintzillion baby squares (the first round of a granny square) and half-square triangles, with panels to piece everything together. Boy has been a ton of work but soooo worth it. Commissioned by @mickeybells1

I root for you

[squirrellypoo]

For me, personally, I put on a few albums I love and SING ALONG. Preferably while I’m doing some repetitive thing I enjoy (for me it’s knitting).

The former stimulates the vagus nerve and the latter calms my autistic brain. If I do this for an hour or two, I feel a noticeable uptick in my mood.

what do you guys do when you're feeling bad mentally to get yourself out of that
